So Are We Shooting A Webseries Or Soft-Core Porn Now?!

Before I get into what I want to say I want to put this disclaimer out there for anyone who might feel some type of way. I am not trying to come for anyone’s bag or insult anyone’s talent. I am merely expressing my opinion. This is not a personal attack on anyone in particular.

As you know Adult film actors have been transitioning to acting in web series for a while now.

Series like “Street Behavior” which starred Paris Buford aka Seduction and Venom aka Kevyn Mine’s “Momma’z Boi” were a hit among the community. Rico Pruitt became a breakout star of “About Him” with his character’s catchphrase “Damn Best friend” and even earned his own spinoff show “About Justin”.

Eventually, we would see adult entertainers like Niko Love (exotic dancer), Arquez, Fiji, Icon Kidd, TaeTheDoug and Mustang, Gucci Starr and various others each appear in various web series.

The series is obviously low budget and the storyline isn’t as complex as it could be not it seems that these creators are producing soft-core porn than an actual show that just so happens to feature sex scenes. Although they claim that the actual intercourse is simulated. They are still having sex in the scenes. Giving someone fellatio is PORN period. Hell I remember having a conversation with someone who is featured in several of the series and shall remain anonymous that suggested that some of those sex scenes are in fact real.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think you should be a one-trick pony. Just because you may have started out in the adult industry doesn’t mean you can’t branch out and try other endeavors. Just last month, former porn star Angyl Valentino had a cameo in Law And Order. If your gift is acting, that you should pursue that dream.

Fan favorite Tripp Ali started in several web series including Tex Brown but left in the middle of filming. “About Him” Brandon Karson parted almost a year prior. The rumor was they didn’t like the direction where the series was going and didn’t want to be apart of it. It was also rumored that they weren’t allegedly being paid. Meanwhile, Rico Pruitt quit the show to focus on his porn career courtesy of BBA (whatever happened to that anyway…). Clearly legitimate up and coming actors don’t want to be associate their work with a bunch of porn models. It wouldn’t be a good look for them. TV networks is not going to pick up these kinds of shows.

I don’t have a problem with adult models trying their hand at acting and I don’t have an issue with soft porn but at least hire an actor who can actually act. Write a decent storyline that doesn’t evolve sex in every other scene. It almost feels like they are using these porn models as bait to get people to tune in but in all honesty, if we wanted to see subpar acting and cliche storylines we will just hop on Pornhub or Myvidster. At least Paris Buford aka Seduction, who played twins in “Street Behavior” was believable. Now it’s such a blur I am not sure if I am watching a web series or watching porn.
